Chapter 700: Layout of the Khitan (8) (2nd Update)

"Woo... Whining... Father, kill him, he is ruining his daughter's innocence! ”

Early in the morning, King Xi Tules was woken up by his own pearl Wu Siduo, and then made a lot of noise in his bedroom, which made King Xi also have a headache.

As the other party of the parties--- Meng Zhixiang stood on the side of the hall, without saying a word, waiting for King Xi's treatment.

"Okay, what's the noise? Early in the morning, no worries! "Rao is King Xi likes this little daughter very much, and he was woken up early in the morning, and he hasn't gotten angry yet?

"Father, you murder me, this person has ruined his daughter's innocence, if you don't kill him, you will still murder me!" Wu Siduo wiped his tears and cried.

Meng Zhixiang stood up silently and saluted King Xi, "Respected king, the minister didn't know that there would be such a misunderstanding." The minister thought that Princess Wu Siduo had a good impression of the minister, but he didn't expect that the minister had misunderstood, and now the big mistake has been made, and the minister is willing to accept the king's disposal. ”

"Including killing you!" Turus said lightly.

Meng Zhixiang was stunned, could it be that the other party really planned to kill him?

Just as he was thinking of what to answer, King Xi spoke again, "Do you really like Wu Siduo?" ”

"My king Mingjian, the courtier's love for the princess is proven!" Meng Zhixiang hurriedly said.

"Since you really like Wu Siduo, now Wu Siduo's body is also given to you. Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, but it happened.

As long as you promise this king one condition, this king can marry Wu Siduo Xu to you! Turus said solemnly.

"My king..."

As soon as Meng Zhixiang spoke, he heard Wu Siduo shouting, "Father, I don't agree. I don't marry him, I'm going to marry Brother Siyuan... ”

"Shut up!" "Isn't that shameful enough?" If you hadn't taken the initiative to invite someone to your palace, would he have been able to go in? And your body was also given to him, if you don't marry him, do you still want to marry Li Siyuan?

Meng Zhixiang, would you like to marry Wu Siduo?

As long as you are willing to promise to leave the Shatuo tribe in the future, the king will marry your daughter to you and give you back 5,000 tribes.

Can you say yes? ”

Meng Zhixiang was a little surprised, thought for a while, and then bowed to King Xi and said, "The minister promised my king!" ”

"Father, daughter disagrees! The daughter doesn't marry him! ”

Wu Siduo made a lot of noise there, but no matter how noisy she was, King Xi didn't accommodate him anymore, but settled the matter.

Originally, the caravan wanted to attend the wedding before leaving, but I heard that the wedding was more than two months later.

In this way, it can also be understood, although the Xi people are now in decline, but after all, they are the second only tribes outside the Saiwai after the Khitan, Murowei and Bohai.

Even if the Xi tribe is now divided, there are more than 100,000 tribes. Even if it is one person who sends troops in one account, it is more than 100,000 troops, and the elite does not know whether it is elite or not, but there are definitely a lot of people.

It's a pity that among the more than 100,000 tent tribes, the Shulu clan occupies a large proportion of those who want to be the largest, and there are other tribes that ignore the royal court's orders, in fact, the tribes that King Xi can directly command are only fifty or sixty thousand tents, or a little more.

Among the 50,000 or 60,000 tents, there are only more than 10,000 standing troops, and the rest will only be drawn in wartime.

But the Khitan Eight Divisions had more than 200,000 tribes at this time, and the hundreds of thousands of troops mentioned by Yelu Abaoji were not boasted, but that was the number of the entire Khitan army. Of course, there are still some affiliated tribes in the Khitan, just like the Shulu clan of the Xi tribe is a subsidiary tribe of the Khitan department.

In the case of internal division, the Xi people are naturally no match for the Khitan, and if they continue and become completely vassals, it will be a matter of time.

But no matter what, the Xi people are also a big clan outside the Sai, and King Xi's marriage to his daughter is a big event, so naturally it will not be held hastily, and the surrounding tribes must be invited to participate.

So the caravan chose to return, and when the goods were ready, they came back to the outside of the fortress.

Of course, this is a statement to King Xi, the caravan is not only trading with the Xi people, other tribes are all trading objects of the caravan.

Although the caravan lost a lot of people, it was full of harvest, bringing back a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, furs and medicinal herbs.

In order to show goodwill, King Xi sent an army to escort him, but he did not dare to approach the jurisdiction of the Pinglu army.

Don't look at the entire Pinglu army, there are only 100,000 troops, but it is not a Xi person who can be defeated.

I didn't see that Xixi was attached to the Tang Dynasty and lived in Yanzhou, and Dongxi couldn't do anything with the Pinglu Army. Not to mention Xi Ren, with the current strength of the Khitan, it is enough to attack the Lu Long Army.

Don't be Lu Longjun is a feudal town in the Central Plains.

As the outbreak place of the Anshi Rebellion, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Lulong Army has always been a mixed Hu and Han population, with strong folk customs and tens of thousands of elite cavalry.

That is not comparable to the cavalry of 50,000 or 60,000 or 100,000 in the mouth of the Khitan.

Don't look at the Khitan at this time, but there are not many really elite troops, and those soldiers who are forcibly conscripted in battle, in the face of the Lu Long Army who fight every year, they really may not be able to fight.

Didn't you see the first time the Khitan attacked Lulong in history, or many years later?

The Khitan didn't dare to provoke Lu Longjun now, let alone ridicule people.

Although this time Jin Yiwei only followed the caravan around the territory of Dongxi, which was close to Lulong, and came back, he brought back a lot of news.

。。。。。。

This is an unexpected joy, Li Siyuan, Liu's family, An Chongxue, Meng Zhixiang, and Li Cunqiao are actually in the territory of the Dongxi people.

Have you found any traces of Li Kening, Kang Junli and others? Li Ye put down the recital and asked lightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Kening and the others seem to have fled to the territory of Khitan or Murowei, but it cannot be confirmed for the time being." Li Jian hurriedly replied.

"It's okay, it's okay to find out slowly, these people are not ordinary people, if they are alive, they will definitely not be too low-key. It's a bit surprising to have such a harvest for the first time.

But that's not enough, I need the details of Saiwai Khitan, Bohai, Dongxi, Murowei, Heichezi Murowei, Wugu, Jurchen, and by the way, Silla, etc.

Politically, economically, and militarily, it should be very detailed, especially in the military aspect.

If Li Aiqing can do this, I can reward you with a title, as low as a county man, as high as a county duke, it depends on how far Li Aiqing can go. Li Ye knows that this is a lot of work, and it is difficult to complete it in a short time, but there is no motivation if there is no pressure.

As long as things are done well, rewards or whatnot, it's all trivial.

"Obey the order!"

Hearing that he could improve his knighthood by finding out these clearly, Li Jian didn't want to talk about it, so he almost wanted to go in person.

Just when Li Jian left, he heard someone come to report, saying that Zhang Xiong and Li Rang came together, hoping to enter the palace to face the saint.

Hearing that these two people were coming, Li Ye was a little surprised, don't these two people usually compete against each other? Why are you still here?
